Best Bets
Race 5: #14 FEDERER
Keen on seeing FEDERER step up to the 2000m and Flemington is going to suit.
Should be rock hard fit now, 4th up with Blake Shinn taking the ride.
AZTEC STATE looks like the danger and could be worth having a small saver on.
Race 6: #8 ZOU SENSATION
The ZOU SENSATION ATM goes around again and it’s hard to knock a horse in form.
The 21-day break looks ideal and Jamie should be able to slot in before the bend for a nice map.
Fortunate Kiss brings is a danger who brings an interesting profile and wouldnt surprise me to see her running over the top.
Race 7: #10 KING OF ROSEAU
Does look to get the ideal map just in behind MARBLE NINE to launch over the top.
Keen to oppose SPLASH BACK who won’t be exactly set for this.
MARBLE NINE will prove hard to catch but with the big weight and the dangers on her hammer she should be vulnerable late.
Race 9: #1 STYLISH
Comes here off a 28-day break from that last run at Flemington, where they went quite slow.
There was a decent squeeze in the middle so she should be fully fit for this.
Tricky gate so Shinn may have to take his medicine and round them up. I think she’s capable.
